Your channel is essential for a person wanting to become a soc analyst.

I just graduated with my Associates in Computer Science. If I had known that it was not wholly needed, I wouldn't have gone back to school for it. It's nice to have and a good thing to show my kids that you can do whatever you want as long as you set your mind to it. I will not be going back for a bachelor's like I had planned, however. I believe it's a better financial decision.

Man, this brought back memories of my SOC days, 2AM alerts, weird privilege escalations, and that one time we found out the threat was INSIDE the building 😬. I’m sharing some of those stories on my channel too. Cyber crew, let’s level up together! 🙌

If you are planning to attend a bootcamp, have the mindset of "the more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in the arena". Study and practice everyday. Learn and do as much as you can while in the program. Because once the bootcamp ends, thats when the real battle starts. Your initial battle will be against the interviewers and interview questions but the ones youll be facing constantly is the job itself and your coworkers. If you got the job and you lack the knowledge and skills, not only will you struggle in the job but you will also be bullied by your coworkers. Yes, there are many smart people in the Cybersecurity industry that are bullies that will prey on the weak. The bullying will be subtle, indirect, and discreet. When the one bullying you is the 600 pound gorilla in the SOC, he cannot get fired and no one will say anything against him. You have been warned. So study hard, train hard, its for you. Dont be an absentee or passive participant in the cybersecurity bootcamp.

I have a MacBook. What tools and practices can I use that’ll be safe for my computer?

[NiteFPS]

Do you recommend me, an undergraduate in my junior year, a student under a Bachelor's Degree in cybersecurity to apply as early as now? or should I set it aside and finish my degree first?

[munashemhl]

I took the Google I.T specialist and cyber security analyst certificates. I am not sure which path to take, but whichever can help me get my foot in there the quickest. Please advise me if possible

[aref]

Hi, can you please upload a video about entry level/junior soc analyst interview questions, i watched your previous video and it was really good, i have my interview in a couple of days

[ibrahimzende]

Hey man, what do i need before starting to apply for job? I have a google it support, google cybersecurity and im preparing to get the comptia security +… what’s the next step ?

[aliibrahim]

I hope you see this, I’m looking for advise on how to improve my understanding of alerts, I work for an mssp so we use wide range of tools like rapid7, splunk, Cynet etc, I often find myself overwhelmed by the different types of alerts coming from those tools and want to improve on my understanding, or if you could do some video on common types of network related alerts and endpoint alerts would really be helpful!

[Sirwhty]

Thank you for your great Job. Love it. I do have a question regarding your SOC Roadmap. Instead of the Google Professional Cybersecurity cert, can one study for the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate?

[t.browne]

Peace Steven. I love your channel because it makes this simple, not easy. My question is can I work for a SOC company in Canada even though I’m in the US with no Canadian residency? Also what is your thoughts on Cisco Jr Cybersecurity Analyst career path?

[sammergill]

HEY I APPLIED FOR ESENTIRE JOB BUT DID NOT GET ANY RESPONSE

[chideragodwin]

Hi, thank you for your video. I was wondering. Can one get into Cloud security analyst role as an entry level personnel? Or do I have to pass through cyber security SOC role first? The road map I currently envisage is networking - Google cyber- Microsoft cybersecurity analyst- Microsoft SOC course - Az 500 course. Does this roadmap look sufficient? Thanks
